As well as the lines, keep talking to us here - you've got people who have made it all the way to stable long-term sobriety, and others who are going through the same difficulties at the same time as you.
I feel really rough and low at the moment. Are you struggling most with feeling dreadful, intense cravings, both, or something ekse?
I feel the same as you. Just awful. I don't think alcohol was the siren, but it sure quieted the other sadness and noise. And now, it's gone so the sadness and noise is back and also, there's nothing to quiet it. I guess that's craving.
And yes, to hear that it's not just me helps. Thank you
